Addressing disease of the frontal sinus successfully remains,
perhaps, one of the most technically challenging issues encountered
by otolaryngologists. The intricate anatomy, combined with a narrow
aperture and relatively acute angle of approach, leads to complexity
not encountered elsewhere in surgery of the sinuses. This
comprehensive volume with contributions by over 30 of the world's
leading rhinologists will help to shed light on this difficult topic.
Thorough discussions of anatomy and pathophysiology of a variety of
frontal sinus diseases provide a background for in-depth chapters on
aspects of both medical and surgical management. A variety of
surgical approaches are discussed, including the latest endoscopic
techniques, as well as more traditional open and microscopic
approaches. Heavily illustrated, this volume will be a "must have"
for the rhinologist managing disease in the frontal sinus.
